Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema attacked the White House on Sunday for doing nothing regarding the border crisis despite having two years to plan for the Title 42 mandate to expire.
The pandemic-era policy, which originally allowed the U.S. to expel certain migrants as a health mandate, is set to expire on Thursday. Even with the policy in place, the Biden administration has faced record levels of illegal border crossing since taking office in Jan. 2021.
"Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan spoke with Sinema on the border crisis as well as her proposed bill to continue a similar policy at the McCain Institute's Sedona Forum. As the expiration date draws closer, however, Sinema began criticizing the White House for its inaction.
"What you introduced was a temporary two-year authority to expel migrants with an exemption for asylum claims because of the immediate title 42 expiration," Brennan said.
"That’s a Band-Aid," Sinema responded. "The Biden administration had two years to prepare for this and did not do so. Our state is going to bear the brunt. Migrants will be in crisis as soon as next week. It will be a humanitarian crisis because we’re not prepared. The legislation we introduced yesterday is ability tiding this over, giving us time and space for the Biden administration to do their job and for us legislators to create a plan to get through the House and Senate."
Brennan remarked that the bill may not receive enough support from Congress to pass. Sinema remained optimistic, though remarked that the Department of Homeland Security and the federal government has yet to share information with her or border towns regarding what to expect after the end of Title 42.

She can’t be this dumb. “If only those were brains”.
The Senate has had the same amount of time....to push back.
As had Congress.
ALL seem to be radio silent.
Glad she’s finally saying something. I guess because she’s in a border state. cRuz and Cornball, as well as Kelly.....any pushback?
Of course they had two years to prepare.
This is the result they were preparing for.
As far as they’re concerned, there are two wonderful things about to happen.
The first is that we are going to be inundated with illegals, so many that there is nothing anyone will be able to do about it. Destruction of the power of citizenship is good for the revolution.
The second is that the human trafficking gangs are going to cause all sorts of deadly violence, since they are about to lose a major source of revenue smuggling illegals across the border. Chaos is always good for the revolution.
She should get down there before it hits the fan. No Democrats will, in fact they will tell us everything is fine. Anyone on site will be seen as a leader.
All part of The Great Culling.
do you think the day will come when ppl realize the WH is doing exactly what they plan to do?
All going according to plan.
Relax Kamala has the border all taken care of
People really are dumb to listen to a letter that spews from this persons mouth.
She helped elect a person who, upon being seated as Governor, proceeded to take down the little that was being done by Ducey and then wanted to offer illegals in-state tuition.
Right now, hospitals in that state are on the verge of bankruptcy, but Sinema doesn’t care about that or who is running her state.
The Border coulda been locked down Jan 20, 2021.
Does Sen Sinema and others realize that the migration mess is all done intentionally as part of Biden’s America’s destruction plan?
What else could it be?
Does she pay attention to the huge chunks of farm land that are presently purchased by the Chinese communists and to the many Chinese students (potential spies and terrorists) presently attending our universities in spite of our alleged poor academic standards?
Sheesh, is there no one in government looking out for our national security?
Thanks. I was so worried before I read your post.

Mark Kelly hasn’t said one word about the border. Apparently he welcomes the invasion.
Then why is she not a republican, take manchin with her and impeach the b*st*rd
“Then why is she not a republican, take manchin with her and impeach the b*st*rd”
Why hasn’t McConnell convinced her to join the GOP?
When she says prepare she is talking about being ready to process millions more into our country. Title 42 or no 42 they are still coming in illegally. She is not talking about stopping the invasion.
